Chapter 2983: The green trees are thick and the summer is long (Seventeen)
Pamela used the roots of forest plants to carefully search the ruins of the junior high school and elementary school that Schiller mentioned, and finally found more things - the other body parts of the man.
Because several years have passed, other tissues are definitely not found, but Pamela found most of the bones and took them back to her home.
Schiller came to Pamela's house for the first time. Pamela should have held a housewarming party after moving, but it happened to be the Great Depression. The mortgage had already made her exhausted, so of course she was in no mood to hold a party. Others also understood her and did not bring up this matter.
Fortunately, the windfall allowed Pamela to pay off her mortgage, and she was already preparing for her own housewarming party.
Pamela bought a small house in an ordinary community in the South District. It was not a villa, but a very ordinary American-style small house with two floors, front and back yards, and a modern decoration style. Pamela used a lot of plants to decorate, which looked a bit naturalistic.
Of course, although it was just an ordinary house, the price was not cheap because it was in a wealthy area with good security. In addition to various renovations, Pamela spent more than 200,000 US dollars. This was more than 200,000 US dollars around the millennium, which was already very expensive.
But this further showed the value of the 5 million US dollars that Greed gave her. After paying off the mortgage, there was still a lot left.
In the backyard of the house, Pamela and Schiller were putting bones together while saying, "I have already agreed with Roy that this money is my investment in him. Together with the part of the working capital he can take out now, we can already carry out preliminary greening transformation of Gotham."
"What do you think?"
"It is unrealistic to directly transform the current road, but Wayne Group has very mature roof garden technology, which is widely used by him in the building in the East District. Now we plan to popularize this technology in the other four districts."
"Is the money enough?"
"It's close to 10 million US dollars in total, which is barely enough, but this way we can't carry out the cooling plan. Fortunately, just like the last mosquito incident, as long as we survive these few months, it will naturally cool down, and it will be much better next year."
Schiller nodded, and then began to focus on the work at hand. The two skilled workers quickly put the bones together. It was almost the same as Schiller expected. An adult male around 30 years old, who has been doing physical labor for a long time, was nothing special.
Then only the broken skull was left. After the two put the skull fragments together, they found that the place where the blow was actually hit was not directly above the skull, but the back of the head.
This verified Schiller's conjecture, that is, the man was not actually killed by something falling from the top of his head.
There is a little-known fact that many times, the injuries of people who were killed by falling objects from high altitudes are not directly above the head, nor on the back of the head, but on the forehead.
Because once humans hear movement above their heads, they instinctively look up, so unless the thing is teleported to the top of their heads and falls directly, many people are killed while looking up.
So in many TV dramas, those who were killed by flower pots falling from high altitudes are lying on the ground, which is actually not very scientific. There are many more cases where the bodies of people who were killed by falling objects are lying on the ground than lying on the ground.
Of course, there are also some people who are slow to react. They don't react even when things are about to hit their heads. These people have a chance of being knocked down, but it is more likely that they will be hit right above the skull. If you want to hit the back of the head, you must make sure that the person keeps his head down. The probability is really too small.
Such scars on the back of the head are generally man-made, that is, being hit from behind.
Schiller and Pamela looked at the traces of skull fracture, and they agreed that the man was murdered.
In fact, blunt instruments are the main force of murder weapons in daily life. The back of the human head is very fragile. It is possible to kill a person with a bottle of wine. Therefore, in the case of crimes of passion, many corpses have marks of being hit on the back of the head.
Some people try to throw the bodies that died from being hit on the back of the head downstairs to pretend that they committed suicide, but in fact, modern criminal investigation technology can completely determine the specific form of the murder weapon that hit the back of the human head, and it is clear at a glance whether it is a smash or a fall.
Forensic doctors can even perfectly restore the shape of the murder weapon, the angle of impact, and even the way the murderer exerted force through the skull cracks. They can even judge the murderer's height and left and right hands. This method is simply not feasible.
Pamela and Schiller actually do not have such professional technical means, and the body is not fresh. Only bone fragments are left, and many details of the texture direction are no longer visible.
Even so, Schiller can see that the man who killed the worker was very strong, and only hit once. After the man fell down, he did not make up.
This proves the most important thing, that is, the other party is not panicking.
Many people, even if they are premeditated crimes, will be very worried that the victim is not dead, so stabbing once is not enough, and they must stab the other party into a sieve. The same is true for hitting the head, for fear that it will not be killed in one hit, and the person will fall down and have to hit it hard a few more times.
Once traces of a last strike are found, it proves that this person is not an experienced player. On the one hand, he is relatively panicked. On the other hand, he has no clear judgment on his own strength and the opponent's physical signs. He does not know whether he can kill with one blow. A seasoned killer will not make this mistake. Such a mistake.
Because again, the more traces left on the body, the easier it is to provide clues to the police. Forensic doctors are not vegetarians. If there are enough wounds, they can deduce the height and handedness by exhaustive methods.
Schiller expressed his thoughts. Pamela pondered for a while and then said: "I think he didn't hit more because he knew that even if he didn't hit the target, the person wouldn't survive."
Schiller thought for a while, and it was indeed true. If this was on the street, it might be necessary to hit him a few more times to prevent the other party from coming back to life and calling the police. But the place where this man died was in a deep mountain forest. Even if he was stabbed once, As long as he loses the ability to move, he will definitely die.
What's more, the murderer finally buried the man in the ruins of the school, suffocating him to death even if he wasn't smashed to death. There was really no need for a follow-up attack at that time.
This also shows a very important clue, that is, the other party is not worried at all that the body will be found.
But this is actually not normal. Although the place where the man died was in the woods, there was a high school not far away. Why did he think that no one would approach here?
Where does his confidence come from?
Schiller had already guessed something. He looked at Pamela and said: "Brand did a spiritual spiritual ritual. Before the man died, the ruins of the two buildings still existed on the ground, but when we went there, There are basically no traces of the building left.”
"You mean, after this man died, someone cleaned up the ruins of the construction site a second time."
"Yes, two buildings were demolished ten years ago, but a lot of construction waste and foundations were left in place. A few years later, a man died there, and someone else took the construction waste and foundations with them. Let’s go and restore it to the way it looked like a forest.”
"This man must have discovered something." Pamela looked at the bones on the ground and said, "Otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly returned to the ruins of the school, and no one would have chased him and killed him and then cleaned up the ruins a second time. ”
"But you didn't find anything there, did you?"
Pamela nodded and said: "The other party is very cautious, otherwise they would not kill this man as soon as he arrives... Professor, if you continue to investigate, they will definitely keep an eye on you."
"Why are you suddenly worried about me?"
Schiller did feel a little strange. Could Pamela still not understand him? What can the other party do to him?
"Professor, you are no longer a superpower." Pamela reminded: "If the other party is really just a serial killer motivated by hobbies, he may not be able to cause any harm to you, but if this matter involves interests, then they I’m afraid I won’t dare to use any dirty tricks.”
Schiller stared at Pamela. Pamela looked around, then walked to the tree in the corner of the backyard and waved to Schiller. After Schiller walked over, Pamela shoveled it down. Schiller saw A complete shoulder blade.
"Do you know who he is?" Pamela was slightly indifferent. Schiller could tell that she didn't need to answer. Sure enough, she asked and answered herself: "He is a plant protectionist and firmly opposes the plant protection in this world." People like me who can breed and resurrect plants at any time, because of my presence, they can’t attack other people’s methods of raising plants, and they can’t do their environmental business.”
"While I was going to the lab, he sneaked into my house and tried to set it on fire. Fortunately, the vines I planted in the backyard caught him, otherwise my house would not have been saved."
“A few months after the economic crisis started, my house, car, and even my job were all threatened by this group of people. Did I mention that my previous black Ford car spontaneously ignited inexplicably, and I There is no way."
"Professor, they and you are from two different worlds." Pamela was obviously referring to serial killers and this group of people driven by profit. She said: "Your set of rules can only protect against gentlemen, but not against gentlemen." With their villains, even if they can't kill you, they will try their best to cause you to suffer property damage. You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days."
After leaving Pamela's home, Schiller thought about her words carefully, and he felt that what Pamela said made sense.
Gotham used to be relatively pure, and everyone was just crazy. I killed you for personal enjoyment. If I couldn't enjoy it or my skills were inferior to others, then just accept it.
But it's different now. After the situation in Gotham has improved, it can be said that the door is always open. Isn't the hard work of saving Gotham just to restore the city to normal? They are here to do business, why not let them in?
It is precisely because of this consideration that Schiller did not go to Williams. He is a serious businessman. He uses legal and compliant means to acquire land and builds resorts within the scope of the law. He has a bad temper. Okay, it’s a bad attitude, but it’s not illegal after all. Why don’t you let others build it?
In other words, everyone in Gotham has worked hard for so long, isn't it just so that Gotham can have a boss like Williams to come and develop it?
However, the normal world of normal people does not mean that it is not sinister. Rather, the struggle for interests in the world of normal people is more complex and dangerous than that of madmen. Interest groups are closely aligned and extreme methods emerge in endlessly.
Besides profit, they have no other pursuits, which means they have no bottom line. Because they are pure, they are powerful.
